Subchapter 3: LIEN OF MORTGAGEES ON POLICIES
§3030. Lien established; application of payments
The mortgagee of any real estate or the mortgagee of any personal property shall have a lien upon any policy of insurance against loss by fire procured thereon by the mortgagor, to take effect from the time he files with the insurer, at its home office, a written notice, briefly describing his mortgage, the estate conveyed thereby and the sum remaining unpaid thereon. If the mortgagor, by a writing by him signed and filed with the secretary, consents that the whole of the sum secured by the policy, or so much as is required to discharge the amount due on the mortgage at the time when a loss occurs, shall be applied to the payment of the mortgage, it shall be so paid by the insurer and the mortgagee's receipt therefor shall be a sufficient discharge of the insurer.
